On the night of 30-31 March 1944, 795 Royal Air Force bombers attacked the city of Nuremberg. 95 of those bombers were shot down, ten more were written off as complete losses after landing, and 545 bomber crewmen were lost. More aircrew were lost that night than the whole of the Battle of Britain. It is the bloodiest day in Royal Air Force history.
